The Marple Memorial Park Skatepark Development Project page on the Friends of the Park web site has been updated with details of a second donation of £250 from Romiley and Marple Lions, taking their total contribution to the project to £500. It has also been updated with details of the money raised at the brilliant Marple Food and Drink Festival yesterday, which achieved a record breaking total of £864.

I'd like to thank all our volunteers who helped on the day and especially Micaela Wood, who does most of the leg-work and preparations for the Tombola, and her husband Terry. The Tombola raised £674 on its own, so of course a big thank you is also due to all of the Marple shops and businesses who contributed some amazing prizes.

Is there anyway people could donate by credit card ..

Most certainly - anyone wishing to donate by credit or debit card can do so via our Local Giving page here:

UK Tax Payers can also donate Gift-Aid if they wish.

The Marple Memorial Park Skatepark Development Project page on the Friends of the Park web site has been updated with details of the £380 proceeds of the Charity Fun Bike Ride last weekend, plus another donation of £50 from Recon Cycle Repairs. With these most recent contributions we are now just £326 short of our £20,000 Community Funding target. We'd like to get there by the end of November, which would be a fantastic achievement in just two years since we set the target and started raising Community Funds.

Additionally, following our recent funding strategy setback caused by boundary changes, we've found an alternative potential source of landfill funding that our project does qualify for at the present time
